There are some in the US who feel Russia, even after they became a democracy, is still the enemy. The Germans killed more Americans, but they are our friends now. Though we do not agree on everything. Would it be better to make Russia a friend or treat them as an enemy?

It is better to work with them, Cause Russia can spank us.

Third way. Work with Russia and against them depending upon our interests at the time.

Working with Russia, as the west did with Germany before the war won't stop Russia from acting like an enemy. By your logic, we should take the place over, run it for 10 years, and then set them on their way, like we did with Germany.

OF course it would be better to work with them. But that means they have to work with us as well. And that isn't happening. The Germans may have killed more Americans in WWII, but they weren't the antithesis and rival of America for the 50 years following it...your logic is terrible.

That is what is going on, Russia is rolling with the US and China is rolling with Iran. China gets most their oil from Iran. China is also making deals with Venezuela. Russia today is no less capitalistic then the US only the amount of state involvement is more and that is fading with their communist fading generations.

With Russia they will shake your hand while stabbing you in the back.

What is true on a smaller scale can be basically true on a grand scale . I may not agree with my neighbors about everything but I try to mind my own business and I try to get along with my neighbors . There is a lot of good to be said about Peace in the neighborhood . People are happier and more productive .

we know where Germany stands on issues of politics and our national security - they aren't the ones arming venezuela (run by a notoriously anti-American regime) either. we never know where russia stands on any issue - one day they're our best comrades, the next they're puffing out their chests and demanding concessions from us.

Really? You think it's OUR choice? According to Russia, they ARE an enemy. What sort of "work with Russia" do you imagine would change that? There are some in the US who BELIEVE Russia when it SAYS it is still the enemy. It would it be best to CONTINUE offering Russia friendship while not PRETENDING they've already accepted it.

Sure. That's what Chamberlain did with Hitler. Brought "Peace in our time", for a few months.

:))) There is no illusions that Russia will always be an enemy for the western countries. It is not because Russia is the main part of former USSR. Such situation started many years before. Western countries always are afraid of Russia, since 17-19 centuries, from Peter the Great, Suvorov and Kutuzov. Long live Russia and its the best allies - Army and Fleet!

It's better to work with them. the USA isn't going to be an invincible stronghold for much longer

It's best to do whatever dis-empowers the corpo-thugs working the military industrial complex. I can't help but think our president is a front man, since our government has become such an effective front for organized crime (on both sides from bottom to top). However, when he makes moves away from the MIC it is a very good thing. Republicans give our corrupted government way too much credit in its handling of foreign policy and war. Corruption breeds corruption and its been building up for decades in our system. President Obama didn't bring it in; the media-thugs just want it to look that way so the bigwig criminals on top can keep getting away with murder.
